tee	So many people try to inject various kinds of meaning into it, eg a day for families, a day to get excited, to get presents, to be merry etc. But bottom line, it is just another day. By giving it so much importance it is easy to feel upset if you think you're not having as good a time as everyone around you seems to be having. Sometimes it helps to step away, see it in perspective. Also, it is the end of the year and we naturally think about what has come to pass and maybe feel we didnt do all the things we wanted or life isnt going as we planned. My advice is to turn this into something positive for the future. Rather than ruminating on what you havent done this year, focus on how you could improve your life next year and how you could work towards achieving those things you want to achieve. You are certainly not alone. It is important to reflect but dont allow yourself to wallow in it and dont let it bring you down. All the best my dear. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

delicateharmony	Yeah, I'm pretty down this christmas... People in my area are driving like nut jobs - nearly been hit by two cars during street crossings, and red lights don't seem to mean anything to drivers lately. The number of family members has dropped really low - uncle died, aunt moved to like Iowa... And I'm single - which is the worst for me... I generally really like buying gifts for my lady companion... and without that, I feel kind of empty and lacking in purpose. Bleh... -dh Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

West_End_Girl	That is so weird that someone would ask that today, because I was totally just thinking about that at lunch time today! I am totally not in the Christmas spirit this year, I normally am the type to always have a smile, play the cheesy carols all month and start saying Merry Christmas to people by the middle of December. This year though, I'm just not in the mood to be Merry. I think it is because of my in-laws, they have a habit of taking the fun out of the simplest of things and making everything all about what you give them, do for them, them, them, them, 24/7/365. So I think I'm just a little stressed out, overworked and feeling under appreciated in all my efforts to make people happy. I think if I get out of town and have some quiet time just me and the spouse I'll start feeling alot better. That and I need some sunshine on my face, they say sunshine helps with lifting your mood.

SINGER...	As hard as I am trying not to admit it, I am feeling a little empty, This will be the first Christmas in 20 years that I have not had my daughter to share it with me. SHe's working on a cruise ship in Hawaii - and while I should be happy - school's out for two weeks, I have the whole apartment to myself, I don't have any money and any Christmas gifts to give - I have my faith in God in knowing that it's not about being able to buy the most expensive gifts, but I'm at the point, I don't want to do anything, nor do I want anyone to come over. I just want to stay in bed and watch t.v. I know this, too, shall pass. Also, I'll be 54 on Sunday. (24th) Nobody celebrates their birthday alone anymore do they? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TB	I feel that it has crept up way too quickly this year. Part of me is looking forward to it because of my husband and three beautiful children, but another part of me feels low about the commercial side of it all and for some reason I can't put my finger on , Christmas feels a bit different this year. This question is quite a good one as it illustrates that nobody has the perfect life and Christmas and not everyone is all excited at this time of year. The replys reflect this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jeancommunicates	Getting melancholly at Christmas is quite normal. It is a special time of the year where families get together with all their indifferences. Singles are lonely. Widows or widowers are sad. Parents get stressed because they often spend more than they should. It is suppose to be a "Wonderful Time of the Year" as the song goes and when it isn't we feel empty. Try remembering why we celebrate Christmas or the true meaning of Christmas. He's in the name. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

IAN M	if you are a christian then christmas is great... for the rest of us it is just expense Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bubbles	Yeah I will be alone Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

beanie	I do. I come from a pretty disfunctional family so as Christmas is the time for "family" it just seems to highlight the fact I don't have one. I tend to make use of it though, instead of trying to get too low. I volunteer at my local homeless shelter and make the most of this time of the year which can be just as lonely for some other more unfortunate people. I hope you still have a good christmas whatever you do. x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Coley	I'm feeling VERY low and fed up. My 4 and a half yr old daughter is off to her Dads tomorrow, until the 29th. I have had 'that Christmas magic' feeling for 4 years now, and I feel It's gone knowing she will not be here on Christmas day. So... Bah humbug! But I hope that you cheer up, and enjoy your Christmas. x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
